Isimply cannot understand what’s happening to Radek.
I have asked himrepeatedlyfor:

(1)acopy of our (i.e., the C.C.+Letts+P.S.D.+Swedes+
Norwegians+Borchardt+Platten)draftresolution (in
German)[1];

(2)acopy of our (the same groups’) statement at the
conference on the voting (why we, though not in agreement
with the manifesto, votefor);

(3)acopy of our (the same groups+Roland-Holst)
statement of protest against Ledebour’s
ultimatum.[2]

Radekdoes not reply!

AndImusthave them for the Central Organ.

Please,do call on him and find out what’s wrong. (If
Radek hasn’t got them, can Grimm reallybe refusingto
havea copy made? That would be the height of impudence!)

Regards,Yours,Lenin

[1]Thedraft resolution proposed at the Zimmerwald Conference by
the Left.

Conference should not pass a resolution prohibiting organisations
attending the Conference from voting for war credits (he said thequestion should be decided on the strength of each country’s
strategic position). The statement was quoted inSotsial-DemokratNo. 47, October 13, 1915 (“Two Statements at the International
Conference”).
